Alright!!!! Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Take your measurements, then once a month add up inches lost and cut you a piece of pretty ribbon as long as your total inches loss!

Great! Good luck to you!

I'm scheduled for August 1! I'm starting week 2 of my liquid diet !

Wow!

I have to wait 1 week after surgery to start puréed foods .

You look so happy! Let us know how you are doing! God Bless!

We will be at RMH together having surgery on the same day...small world! I'm in Harrisonburg. This is awesome!!! How's your pre op diet going? Feel free to PM me!

God Bless! Keep us updated!

11 days until my surgery! The liquid pre op diet is getting easier for me since I started making my own soups. And I found a protein shake I really like. It's expensive so I only drink one a day as a treat . It's Core Power Light made by the CocaCola company. The chocolate is yummy and the strawberry/banana is good too! I hope everyone is having a good day! God Bless!

I'm in Virginia and my sugery is $16,400 including hernia repair and one year of follow ups. I also had to pay around $1500 for pre- op testing.

My hubby took my pics too. He was real sweet about it but I was embarrassed too.

Has everyone taken their measurements? My hubby helped me take mine before I started my pre op diet. Can't wait to see them going down! I think this May also be beneficial during the dreaded stalls I have read about! God bless you all in your journey!!

Woohoo! Look at that waist!!! Awesome!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Good for you for doing something for yourself. You deserve it! You sound like a very giving person and I'm glad you are giving this to yourself. I for one wish I had done this before my BMI was so high. I am self pay also. God bless you!

Hi Amarie! I am on day 4 of my full liquid pre op diet. I am drinking 1-2 Protein shakes a day. I love to cook so yesterday I made homemade tomato soup with tomatoes I canned last summer and homemade chicken broth. Today I'm using my homemade broth with a few cubed potatoes and onion cooked in it to make it a little thicker. I'll purée it and add some unflavored Protein to it. I can basically have anything that will go through a straw,no pieces or chunks of anything. Use the spices you love to make things more appealing! Best wishes to you! Our new journey starts soon!! God Bless!

Today is day 4 on the liquid pre op diet. Yesterday I made myself some yummy homemade tomato soup and added unflavored protein powder. My grandson who is 6 ate soup with me instead of what the rest of the family was having(with no protein powder). He is so sweet! Down 6 pounds so far on the liquid diet!

I'm starting day 4 of liquids today. Yesterday was tough but I really don't have an appetite today yet. Surgery on August 1!

You look fabulous!!!

Hi coffeebeanz, I'm on the first also! I started the pre op diet yesterday. Mine is liquids for 2 weeks, what is yours like? Hope your day goes well!

I'll do my best!!! I'm in Virginia by the way! I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!

My surgery is on August 1 !! This is finally happening! I started this journey in March and I started my 2 week liquid diet today . I've finished my food funerals so I started it a day early. I am 55 years old and weighed 262.6 this morning. My hubby helped me take my measurements so I can keep track of my progress . I found out today that I do not like Premier protein shakes although I did finish the one I opened. I do like Muscle Milk! Congratulations and best wishes to all of you and I look forward to sharing this experience with you!!

I'm going to take my measurements today since I'll be starting my pre op diet this week!

My count down has begun! 5 days until I start my 2 week liquid pre op diet and 15 days until my surgery! I'm so excited (and nervous!). August 1 is my day!
